Rashid ad-Din Sinan

Rashid ad-Din Sinan (1132-1192), more commonly called Al Mualim (Arabic: The Teacher)  was the leader of the Ismaili religious sect and the leader of the Hashshashin at the time of the Third Crusade. He sought to use the power of the Apples of Eden, so he had his apprentice Altair Ibn-La'Ahad kill nine targets who threatened him.

Biography
Rashid ad-Din Sinan was born in Basra in the Seljuk Empire, present-day Iraq. As a youth he came to Alamut and learned the Hashshashin ways and in 1162 Hassan II of Alamut sent him to Syria, where he controlled the fortress of Masyaf. During his reign he was revered by the order and gained the affectionate nickname "Al Mualim", which means "The Teacher" in Arabic; he was always buried in his books in his library in the Masyaf tower. His archenemy was Salah ad-Din, who was a Kurdish warlord who failed to capture Masyaf from him in 1176, and he failed to assassinate him twice.

During this time, he began to search for the Apples of Eden, which controlled humanity, as a rival of the Knights Templar. In 1191 he procured the Ark of the Covenant through a search of Solomon's Temple's underground levels that left the recipient Malik al-Sayf without a left arm and his comrade Altair Ibn-La'Ahad disgraced and demoted and his brother Kadar al-Sayf dead. He personally demoted Altair and stabbed him in the waist, but when Altair woke up from a dead sleep, Al Mualim told him that he wanted to make him start anew and carry out nine murders against the Templars: Al Mualim withheld the truth from Altair on many occasions, believing that Altair should be the one to break the veil, not himself. Altair was maddened but finally got Al Mualim to tell him that all of the assassination targets that he were to carry out were all Templars searching for the apples. As he killed more and more of the list, Al Mualim gave him some of his equipment and skills back to mark his re-promotion.
